I think that the degradation of the Intel video drivers is enough reason alone to not go with the new versions. I think that this could be a good trend.

I think that Dell could perhaps get another year and a half out of this if they do small things like upgrade Firefox to version 3.5 after it has been out for several months. I also hope that Ubuntu 8.04 gets some basic new feature support similar to what RHEL does. By back porting just a few packages I believe that we can have the best of all worlds.
